Description
A bidimensional dosimeter consisting of 12x12 pixels on a 2.5x2.5cm2-wide polycrystalline Chemical Vapour Deposited diamond (pCVD) has been manufactured. The prototype has been tested under Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) fields for a possible application in pre-treatment verifications of cancer treatments.
Tests have been performed under a 6 MVRX beam with an IMRT field for breast cancer. Measurements have been taken by shifting the device along the x/y axes to span a total map of 10x8 cm^2. Main results, shown and discussed in this paper, evidence that absorbed doses measured by our pCVD device along IMRT profiles are consistent with both those acquired with a commercial device based on silicon diodes and calculated by the Treatment Planning System (TPS).
